Coach Lee Bullen believes Wednesday should follow Brighton’s template as they seek to come back stronger next season. He felt the Seagulls were “unlucky” not to win the title.

He said: “We have got to look at the example of Brighton and I think use that as a motivational tool. We have to look at scenarios like that and try to push on and do the best that we possibly can do because we know the talent is there. It is just about putting that consistency together throughout the whole season.”
